You need to get a life, like me stop working on cars and just stay at work.

 

Good job fella might have to do the twenty the same, see how we go.

 

Actually like the grey they use in Subi's just keeps things brighter.

 

Cheers Al :laff: :D

perhaps when the engine conversion happens in a few months i'll get ya then if you'll still be keen.

 

update

 

its running and running well. all back together and driving.

 

slight exhaust leak that i'll have to fix but the 5 speed despite being low km the synchros are quite noisy. so i'll probably be buying some newlon?? i think it is... anyways its an additive.

 

can definately tell the difference between the 3k and the 4k. the 4k is revving more happily than the 3k did and the power is notably better.

all up pretty happy.

yeah it is good.

 

ran into my first problemo.. someone before me replaced the pcv valve with a breather filter.

 

and now after a long drive oil is pissing out of the breather ruining my nice clean efforts.

 

so a note to everyone don't replace the pcv valve its there for a reason..

 

so thats is now fixed. also sparkplug tubes leaked... so they came out and some new 0 rings were put on.

 

re did valve clearances. tried to put eleccy dizzy on failed... so returned to stock again.

 

and....

 

my low km gearbox is oh so noisy. i have put 125mm worth of nulon into it so far.. perhaps i need to put more in.

 

thats about it... oh and my speedo is waaayyy out. i put the 4speed gear in and yeah... it reads 130kph when i'm actually doing 100!!! eek. lol

 

thats is all.

cheers, Luc
